Yeah. It’s just an expression, though: if “I” does not exist, I certainly can’t know. The one who knows is nowhere to be found

Arising/appearing: “I” seems to be a belief of first person perspective, worldview appears as wispy thought/idea forms, memory and images arise of the house body is in. I has never found me, me has never found I. Awareness is an idea in what appears to be a mind. The thoughts appear to be here, but “here” also is a belief and just appears as idea. “I don’t know” thought appears. In what? No one here knows. Other than to say awareness, which has never been found. By “thought” I mean they appear as imagined images and sounds. Thoughts just seem to happen.

? Well, Thought just arose. No one knows it actually happened, but no doubt it seemed to happen ??

Being is just a more subtle I AM (even the words literally mean the same thing, just from different perspectives); as long as there is experience, an I AM is in play.

I don’t get it. Guess you just had to be there? budum...tsss ? Kidding “Dedication is must” is a phrase I’ve definitely seen you say on here before. You’ve been known to tell people to meditate as well. But to answer the question, stuff would apparently happen. Not “in” something though... and almost certainly not in a “head,” ?

That is largely congruent with my experience. Guess there are just many facets, but they’re of course ultimately interdependent. I certainly experience the God-consciousness direction you speak of as being FAR (immeasurably) more “vast” than the emptiness direction, but what I am not hearing from you is any indication that the emptiness direction has a limit. From here, it does in fact seem (though I could be wrong) that emptiness both has a limit, and is alone associated with what most refer to as “enlightenment” — once it’s absolutely clear that every-thing (including all objects; thoughts, ideas, assumptions, the separate-self, the knower, and even knowing) is unfathomable, has no existence as a thing in itself, etc... AND the mind is steady enough to “never forget it...” I don’t really see a “further,” apart from maybe, in a roundabout way, so-called “Concentration” (not a great word for what I really mean: steadiness + happiness). But yeah, the God-consciousness/Love direction is not only more amazing ime, but from here, I don’t see any end in sight, or even possible. Just keeps going. Seems both directions could be said to be unified as the all-inclusive “Unconditional Love axis” ❤️

Two things are possible: 1. With chronic use of SNRI/SSRI, there will be a desensitization of serotonin receptors, causing psychedelics to lose their effectiveness. 2. Combining 2 or more serotonergic drugs can lead to serotonin syndrome. I've had it before... Wasn't even trying to trip. Took cough medicine max dose, actually prescribed for cough (DXM, an SRI) with Zoloft (sertraline, an SSRI)... Dude, if only I had known just how unpleasant SS was, I would have never even come close to taking 2 serotonergics together. It was HELL. Shaking so hard I looked possessed, sweat pouring off me, BP 180 over something ridiculous, HR 180 as well... And the most intense sensation of pure fear -- it felt like skydiving and realizing you forgot the parachute just after the jump. All this on top of a burning restless agony that resembled opioid withdrawal. I can imagine someone with this condition attempting to drive themselves to the ER, seriously considering just driving into a tree and ending it right there, the suffering was so intense. And I've been through heroin withdrawal. SS was at least as bad, and apparently really deadly... You literally shiver SO HARD that the heat produced by the muscle clonus alone can cause brain damage, with core body temperature as high as 108°F. It was utterly horrific! A truly catastrophic event. Avoid.

Without hardship, there is no overcoming hardship. Without great hardship, there is no overcoming great hardship.

Sounds like you're describing an axis comprised of: higher understandings, higher states of consciousness, and deeper insight experiences. I tend to think (maybe you disagree) this to be a different axis altogether (though linked in some way) when comparing it with awakening/enlightenment/liberation (final, system-transforming, and ongoing insight into the true nature of what could be labelled as either the self or/& knowing)... Enlightenment (even so-called "levels" of it) while it may come in different "flavors," always involves simply observing something closely/carefully/steadily enough so that what is seen, is that it's not there, which is precisely why cessations in meditation are so appropriately lauded for their tendency to produce awakening. I think this (latter) axis is the sort Anna Brown, Rupert Spira, Eckhart Tolle, Tony Parsons, etc exclusively refer to. They've abandoned the prospect of further development in this axis, but it's for essentially the same reason no adult really cares about "believing in Santa Claus even less..." I'm on the fence about whether further progress can somehow be made in this (latter) axis; I truly hold no position with regard to that... but I will say: I don't understand how it could possibly happen, after enlightenment "happens." I guess a potential "problem" is that some of the types of characters I listed may have abandoned the other (former) axis as well, which of course never ends... and only seems to get deeper and more profound. Just thinking out loud. Not really a question. Well, do you think these 2 axes of development are actually one and the same?

She must be speaking in absolutes. Though fwiw, I've never really heard any such statements from her... Closest thing would maybe be something like (paraphrasing) "there aren't really stages" with the obvious caveat (and point), "you are already it." On a side note though...what a ridiculously beautiful woman.

Woah! That's a mighty big wall-o-text you got there, huh? Perhaps edit.

^^ Wonderful advice! Yeah, unless you're liable to have a psychotic or suicidal episode on, say, a mild-moderate dose of Adderall... then you've almost certainly got nothing to worry about with 10-20ug. Maybe try it out, just to test the waters. Allow 14 days to pass after last dose before you take an effective trip dose -- no less than 7 days or else it will very likely be lackluster. No need to wait for more than like 4 days between microdoses, but trip doses benefit greatly from a 12-14+ day wash-out period (bare minimum 7-10 days). Any greater than 20-25ug, while still essentially a "microdose," is not necessarily a subtle one... so perhaps try 10-20ug.

Some of it is likely "fake," in my estimation... as in the person merely believes they're maybe contacting an entity, or they're just "letting it flow" etc. I could be totally wrong about that. But the Ra material, I just have too much confirmation that it is legit. Even if it is in some way "not real," The Law of One is at least legit...for all intents and purposes, in my estimation.

^^ Even if no sought-out deep enlightenment and transformation, developing the insight into radical, unfathomable unknowability/emptiness -- practically just extreme open-mindedness + highly-trained very still mind -- can liberate and open one up to unknowing and continuous insight that "I AM" is an assumption that has never never actually been investigated or looked at directly. The instant it is looked at directly, it wasn't ever there. Seeing x one way and later seeing x to not be that way at all... this can lead to the intuition that nothing can be real, or at least nothing is known, and what can then happen, is that things are no longer taken to be real. If the I AM isn't even a verifiably-existent entity, what then could possibly be? "The snake and the rope" truly is one of (if not the) most valuable pointers. To you, the mind is everything.

Yeah, dissociative + psychedelic is insanely intense. Even if the psychedelic is just cannabis, it can be very, as you say, "non-dual as fuck." It even works when the "psychedelic" is MDMA! (Very well, I might add!) Might want to have a great deal of insight practice under your belt though...because if psychosis strikes, you're screwed...unless there's the deep intuitive realization that it's all empty of being the way it appears to the mind. I landed myself in a psych-ward once from not heeding this! More skilled and more careful now. Even if one can handle 5g dried shrooms with ease, 100mg ketamine (not all in one sniff) + 1-2g shrooms can still give great trouble. It's the wild wild west of boundless consciousness. The ineffable, impossible state that transcends logic; preparation; death; everything. Wait at least until you're feeling the effects of the psychedelic, preferably before peak but past the initial early-come-up phase, then begin very patiently and deliberately insufflating small bumps of K. Make sure you have somewhere to lie down!

Funny. But... I'm gonna be the busy-body for a change and point this out as maybe just a tad bit irresponsible. Maybe. But what do I know? And believe me, I thought about typing essentially what you did, but it never occurred to me to actually type it and press submit, it's just what wanted to come out as a reaction, but then the real response followed. Mindfulness of "wanting to projectile-vomit words on the screen" may be in order. If the reason you have this cavalier attitude towards this stuff is because you've tripped so many times and seen stuff that most people probably never will see, then surely you've learned some of the more esoteric ins-and-outs of psychedelic use? Why not share that? @Kalo Try not to take me too seriously.

5-MeO can be much more scary than LSD, and so can n,n-DMT, but n,n-DMT in small doses would perhaps work better for you than LSD. Not saying it definitely won't go bad, but there are some reasons why LSD and 5-MeO (and to a lesser extent, ketamine) are sort of in a league of their own... LSD is actually somewhat similar to 5-MeO, in that ego-death, dissociation, memory suppression, and thought-loops/confusion can be particularly prominent in the experience... which can often lead to fear or irrationality. Even psychosis/delusions. n,n-DMT is more visual, sober, and hyperspace-like -- you're less likely to have complete memory suppression and ego-death. Mushrooms are kind of like half way between those 2 camps. Don't take this too literally, it's just my particular intuitive grasp, based on well over 100 trips. It may minimize the risk of anxiety and possibly delusions, but not depression or suicide. Probably not a great idea. It really sucks the life out of the trip anyway -- you'd be better off (in terms of both anxiety-relief, insight-promotion, and safety) just taking half the dose of psychedelic. But don't go too low -- IME if you dose too low you get all the anxiety and none of the benefits. Too low IMO is less than 1g mushrooms or less than 75ug LSD, fwiw. Don't. Please don't. Lol. Good luck. I'd steer clear of them for now, though.

Increase bile flow: All 4 taken together, 4x/day... Taurine + Glycine + Milk Thistle Extract (Silymarin) + lecithin/phosphatidylcholine Go easy on both fat and sugar.

I don't think so. Once "the choice" has been made, it's only 4th and up. And Gaia chose positive, by a slim margin. I could be totally misunderstanding. It's been a while.

^^ Exactly. OP: And this can be like ladder. Start by observing how you're emotionally reactive and see things a certain way, but then later you realize it was all in your head. Progressively do this with more subtlety, all the way to the root assumption: "I AM." You know you are, but whenever you find the I AM, it's obviously not the I because it is appearing to the real I. Every time you find the I, it ain't the I, by definition.

Oh, you're right about that. Definitely not 51% in 4th lol. More like 0.005-0.05%; 1 in 2,000-20,000 individuals (my estimate). What I think Ra said is that Earth was being harvested to 4th or staying at 3rd regardless of the numbers of souls in 4th/3rd. What the 51% represents in this case is Earth (as an entity in itself) being 51% positively polarized. Or perhaps the % of the collective psyche positively polarized. That's my understanding of it, anyway. It's about polarization, not density, in this case. Gaia is 4th density, but barely made it -- i.e. if it remained 5-50% positive, as it had for centuries, it would have remained a 3rd density planet.

According to the Ra material Earth is now 4th density. We apparently barely scraped by at 51% from what I remember.

It's the fucking bomb dude. Highly recommend. https://www.lawofone.info/sessions.php

@Raptorsin7 The thread was about self inquiry. Was telling him how to do it. Nvm. Forget it. Sorry if there was offence or something.
